Retirement questions with spouse still working

Sorry that doesn't affect if your SS is taxable.  Up to 85% can be taxed depending on your total income.  

Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches:
Married Filing Jointly: $32,000
Single or head of household: $25,000
Married Filing Separately: 0
